(Virtual) Session Agenda
Hi All!
For our virtual session night, there is a MentorMob Learning Playlist to explore.
It has several "texts" for you to engage with and then asks for a response pulling from your ideas from the texts and your other knowledge.
Please contact me if there are any questions.
The expectation is that you'll have completed this work before our next face-to-face session.
Please note, there are loads of resources below if you want more information on these topics.
Best,
Erin
